The Shura Council of Benghazi Revolutionaries is a military coalition in the Libyan city of Benghazi composed of Islamist and jihadist militias such as Ansar al-Sharia in Libya, Libya Shield 1, February 17th Martyrs Brigade, and Rafallah al-Sahati Brigade. It was formed on 20 June 2014, the shura council being formed to fight Khalifa Hefter's anti-Islamist Libya Dawn coalition during the Second Libyan Civil War. It took over Benghazi in July 2014, but the Libyan National Army recaptured much of the city from the Islamists.
